Matsutake mushrooms are newly available and ridiculously expensive. I spent 500 yuan and only bought one plastic bag.

The matsutake mushrooms I was carrying weren't heavy, but my heart was heavy... From my mature perspective, Yang Sisi was indeed wrong in what happened this evening... But you absolutely can't condemn a person entirely just because of one wrong thing she did; not to mention anything else, the fact that she accompanied me to Thailand back then is a debt of gratitude I can never repay. During those days, she was truly with me, risking her life for me. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that we were through thick and thin together.

As I thought about it, all I could think about were her good qualities… I still remember that after coming to Dali, the first time I returned to Shanghai was for Ye Zhi, but I couldn't get in touch with her. Then she came to my rescue from loneliness and took me to the best river-view restaurant in all of Shanghai.

Back then, she was a rich heiress, driving a Ferrari; now that she's down on her luck, not only did I not give her any real help, but I also gave her a hard time. That was really wrong of me!

With a guilty feeling, I went to the stall she rented at Erhai Gate. I secretly placed the matsutake mushrooms I had bought under the chair she often sat in. Most people wouldn't notice, but she would definitely.

"What are you doing? What are you doing?"

I looked in the direction of the voice and saw it was the same staff member I had asked to give the parasol to Yang Sisi. When he saw it was me, he immediately became friendly again and said to me with a smile, "Oh, it's you! I thought there was a thief!"

I felt a little embarrassed, straightened my clothes, and replied, "It's nothing... She likes matsutake mushrooms, so I bought some on the way and brought them to her."

"Your buddy... you're always doing things that show you care... why are you always doing them so secretly?!"

I laughed: "The spirit of Lei Feng must be carried on... It's good that you're here. If she doesn't notice, remind her tomorrow that there are matsutake mushrooms under the chair... It's hot lately, and things don't keep well. It would be a shame if they spoiled... They're quite expensive!"

Before the staff could reply, a voice suddenly came from the other side of the stall, saying, "You don't need to ask anyone else to do this for you, I saw everything."

I looked back.

Yang Sisi was standing right behind me, holding a drawing board in her hands, looking at me with a complicated expression.
